"Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together"
Got some really great family/friends/classmates back home. Don't have pics of all of them and I really hope I don't decapitated for posting the pics I've got. Miss you guys!
Afterlife
Soon we're headed to see Resident Evil: Afterlife. Love them zombie movies. And of course Mila Jovovic, love her too.
The Uni
The University main gate
A cute restaurant by the uni
Sometimes this course stuff is so confusing...
Did you know that Loch simply means lake?
Urquhart Castle or, at least, what's left of it.
Me and Nessie, she seems pissed at me.
AHHHHH!!!!
Random
Upon arrival, a little tired are we?
Crosshill baby! This is where we live
Shop, shop til' you drop.
The mandatory umbrella.
The Freakout. It's cold, it's allowed.
How do you like my slippers? Fugly as hell.
So much to do, so little time.
So people, gonna try to get better at this blog thing. We have been here for about a week and I'm gonna recap it quickly for you.
A lot has happened to say the least. We spent sunday shopping, apalled by the enourmous supply of it - and EVERYTHING is so cheap, in a GOOD way. For shopaholics like me, this is Mecca. I mean, come on!
I'll tell you the contents of my shopping bag today to give you a clear picture. I have bought: a leather-like bag, 7 pairs of pantyhoes, a pair of gloves, a cap, and those rubbery-sole things to have in high-heels. The content comes to a total of around 15 pounds. 15 pounds??? The contents of this bag would add up to around 50 pounds in Sweden! I will never be the same again.
As the week carried on, we had our introduction at the Uni of Glasgow. It is so beautiful, dating back to the late 1400's. We managed to sort out or courses and classes start the 20th of Sep. Looking forward to it. Uni of Glasgow is especially good at Development Economics, which is great since it is totally within my field of interest. The courses seem awesome!
We also booked our trip to Dublin. Leaving on wednesday and staying for 4 days! Hope we find stuff to do, as I read that Dublin can be walked across in just half a day! Haha.
So far, we are extremely impressed with what Glasgow has to offer. The people are extremely lovely - giving and friendly! Our landlord Jennifer is the best. However, one thing happened which gave us a pretty good scare. There was a fire in the apartment next to ours, quite a devastating one. The apartment was totally ruined. Ironically enough, our apartment got the least damage, which is lucky for us. Our clothes smell of fire smoke, but no biggie. Another excuse to go shopping.
Yesterday we were at a Loch Ness tour, which was cool. We didn't see Nessie though. :-( We got to see a lot of the countryside of Scotland and it is really fantastic.
So, now I'm gonna try to get some pics up for you. Wish me luck, I'm a blog-virgin.

"I have not a Scooby Doo..."
"I have not got a Scooby Doo, not a clue". Our tour guide is hilarious.
Monsters and stuff
Finally on our way on a mega-touristy Loch Ness tour! The highlands, inverness, castles and Nessie here we come! Hope I don't get eaten.
The Wingman
Jenny, my partner in crime. We have arrived bitches!
Takeoff
And we're off! On my way to the airport, a little late as usual. Hope we don't get pulled over. I'll try to get some pics up as soon as possible.
The Seasons Change as Do I
Two days left - and Im off. Off to Scotland, land of the massive beer-drinking, the Loch Ness monster, the incomprehensible accents and well... remains to be seen.
Let the Adventure begin, capital A.
(oh, and I'm gonna have to learn to like beer. Crap)
